JO1 Data

Yonashiro Sho


  • Date of birth: 25 October 1995


  • Birthplace: Okinawa prefecture


  • Blood type: O


  • Height: 180cm


  • What should we call you?: Sho


  • Member colour: Green


  • What are JAMs to you?: Parents. “I think everyone feels the same way, but JAMs are the ‘parents’ who created us, and raised us. Ever since our debut, there haven’t really been many chances for us to directly interact, so from now on I’d like to create more opportunities for us to perform live to repay them, as a form of ‘filial piety’.”


Kawashiri Ren


  • Date of birth: 2 March 1997


  • Birthplace: Fukuoka prefecture


  • Blood type: O


  • Height: 173cm


  • What should we call you?: Ren-chan


  • Member colour: Blue


  • What are JAMs to you?: The universe. “Last year, when we had our concert, the lights of the penlights from the audience seats looked like stars. In this line of work, sometimes it’s hard to know what the right answer is. But, even in times like those, if you struggle as best as you can, you’ll be able to get your hands on a beautiful star, that’s what I feel.”


Shiroiwa Ruki


  • Date of birth: 19 November 1997


  • Birthplace: Tokyo


  • Blood type: O


  • Height: 175cm


  • What should we call you?: Ruki


  • Member colour: White


  • What are JAMs to you?: A presence without which we will wither away. “We’re standing here today not just under our own power, but because of the power of everyone around us. A huge precondition for that is that, if we didn’t have JAMs then we would not even exist here. Without JAMs, we would wither away. We cannot be without them.”


Kono Junki


  • Date of birth: 20 January 1998


  • Birthplace: Nara prefecture


  • Blood type: O


  • Height: 175cm


  • What should we call you?: Junki


  • Member colour: Light blue


  • What are JAMs to you?: The people who are creating JO1 together with us. “Normally, you’d think that ‘fans = people who support you’, but I think that JAMs are not just fans, but also people who are creating JO1 together with us. That’s why, when I get teased by JAMs, it feels like they’re my friends, so I’m happy for them to do it.”


Sato Keigo


  • Date of birth: 29 July 1998


  • Birthplace: Aichi prefecture


  • Blood type: A


  • Height: 182cm


  • What should we call you?: Keigo


  • Member colour: Camel


  • What are JAMs to you?: Joy. “This has not changed, ever since our debut. I’d like to be a source of joy for JAMs, and I’d wish for them to be a source of joy for me, too. For the ‘With’ in our new song ‘With Us’, there’s no mistake that at the top of that list is ‘JAMs with Us’.”


Kawanishi Takumi


  • Date of birth: 23 June 1999


  • Birthplace: Hyogo prefecture


  • Blood type: B


  • Height: 170cm


  • What should we call you?: Takumi


  • Member colour: Pink


  • What are JAMs to you?: Something you put on bread. “I ate it today, too. I really love strawberry butter. Well, leaving that aside (laughs). JAMs and us are like the audience and the performers, but we’re presences that cheer each other on, help each other out, and encourage each other, you know.”


Kimata Syoya


  • Date of birth: 5 April 2000


  • Birthplace: Aichi prefecture


  • Blood type: A


  • Height: 172cm


  • What should we call you?: Syoya


  • Member colour: Light purple


  • What are JAMs to you?: A presence that’s always on my mind. “I think that I think of JAMs a lot more than JAMs think I do. And what’s more, thinking of JAMs that much is a given. It’s precisely because they’re always on my mind, that I want to surprise them and make them happy as much as I can.”


Ohira Shosei


  • Date of birth: 13 April 2000


  • Birthplace: Kyoto prefecture


  • Blood type: A


  • Height: 177cm


  • What should we call you?: Shosei


  • Member colour: Yellow


  • What are JAMs to you?: Treasure. “They’re a really really precious presence, so I’ve got to do my best so that we don’t lose them. For JAMs and us, the enthusiasm with which we think of each other is really quite something, isn’t it. It’s more than LIKE, or LOVE, it’s something that surpasses LOVE.”


Kinjo Sukai


  • Date of birth: 6 May 2000


  • Birthplace: Osaka prefecture


  • Blood type: A


  • Height: 180cm


  • What should we call you?: Sukai


  • Member colour: Black


  • What are JAMs to you?: Light. “I was on hiatus for a while, but they were always waiting for my return, and when I came back  I felt that they lit up the place where I stood. When I say that they’re a presence like light, that’s also a part of it. No matter how thankful I feel, it won’t be enough.”


Tsurubo Shion


  • Date of birth: 11 December 2000


  • Birthplace: Shiga prefecture


  • Blood type: A


  • Height: 179cm


  • What should we call you?: Shion


  • Member colour: Grey


  • What are JAMs to you?: Fans. “They’re the people who gave rise to us, and there’s no mistake that they’re something that we can’t go without. But, during our concert last year, I came to the realisation that their presence has changed from the ‘National Producers’ to just simply ‘fans’ who enjoy our performances.”


Mamehara Issei


  • Date of birth: 30 May 2002


  • Birthplace: Okayama prefecture


  • Blood type: O


  • Height: 174cm


  • What should we call you?: Mame-chan


  • Member colour: Red


  • What are JAMs to you?: Comrades in arms. “They’re not just regular friends, you know. They’ve walked by our side from debut all the way till now. From now on, too, I’d be happy if we could continue to see the same view ahead of us. They’re our allies, and I don’t think there could be any presence more reassuring.”
